Referring Physicians & Providers
Hello! We are so glad you have reached out! PearceMD is now accepting new patients, and Gillian Croteau, PA-C and Dr. Pearce are happy to see new and former patients.
A formal referral is NOT required, but is helpful to have the patient's contact and clinical
information to expedite care.
Please Note:
The following information is for providers only. New or potential patients please click here:
As a value-based, not volume-based practice, we know you have made the right choice for your patients!
To that end, as a smaller practice, please be aware of the following items:
-
Dr. Pearce and Gillian work together as a team and co-manage patients. Their number one goal is timely patient care so depending on a number of factors, patients may see one or the other, often both, and can be assured their care is closely communicated.
-
Every referral and self-referral is reviewed by our team to ensure an appropriate clinical and timely placement and this can take 1-2 business days. If you have a GENERAL ENT/REFERRAL question, please fill out this form.
-
In the rare event we are unable to see a new patient due to complexity and/or emergent nature of care needed, this will be communicated to the referral source.
-
We are IN-NETWORK with the following insurance carriers:
-
Aetna (this include Meritain Health)
-
Taro (now called Mending) Health
-
Maine Community Health Options
-
Traditional Medicare
-
Aetna Medicare Advantage
-
-
We are Out-of-Network with any insurance carrier not listed above, including all other commercial Medicare Advantage plans
-
For cash-pay and Out-of-Network patients, we offer transparent cash-pay prices
-
We do not file these insurance claims, but can happily provide a receipt and itemized Superbill (CPT codes, NPI info, etc) for any patient wishing to file their own claim to towards their Out-Of-Network benefits
-
It is the responsibility of the patient to understand their health insurance policy, including, if their insurance is in-network with our providers, have a co-pay, deductible, or require a referral.
